The interior was upholstered in a period correct pattern in white and dark yellow. The dash and window garnish molding were painted the same color dark yellow to blend the inside and outside perfectly. Congratulations winning this great award Don!

The top of Don’s Lincoln was done in pearl very light yellow with darker yellow fogged in edges and gob webbing for the perfect late 1950’s feel.
